Sir,—
I have the honor, to forward you a memorandum report of lands negotiated by me for the General Government from March, 1874, to date, showing price per acre, actual moneys advanced on each block, and area so far as known.
I have also the honor to submit to you a list of1 blocks for which I am now in treaty with the owners.
The surveys of the blocks have been pushed forward with great-vigour by Percy Smith, Esq., chief assistant of Inspector of Surveys.
At the rate at which the work is now progressing the whole of the blocks will be finished before the end of the summer.
I have, &c.,
E. T. Brissenden.
